Party Harmony and Organization

We have read quite a long editor:a
in the Wilmington Messenger under
the above caption, and we heartily
y endorse every word and line Of oul
able contemporary. The Recorder is
one Of the papers that suggested the
names Of two gentleman under the
caption of ",rhe winning Ticket and
gave its reasons for the suggestions.
We have no preference arising from,
personal favoritism or any other per.
sonal consideration. We are simon
pure Democrats and like the "Messen.
ger" we pledge ourselves in advance
to 60 for the partyis nominees both
State aud National.
Recognizing the ability, the homes
ty, the wisdom, and the success OF the
present administration and the party
in power, the constant effort of the
"Recorder" will be to keep that ad-
ministration and party in power, our
preference, therefore is, only for COM
ipetency and availability. The battle
to be fought next year, will admit Of
no trifings Or disputes in our ranks,
we must harmonize, we must organize,
with these two indispensables we go
forward in solid column TO a certain
victory. Withoutunity and organiza.
lion we are defeated. Faithful and
true Democrats and Democratic pa
pers who differ upon the Tariff and
Internal Revenue questions must com.
promise their differences and unite
upon the most competent and availa-
bic Democrat. The paramount ques
tioh is success, the minor consiiera
fions can be looked after when We
have attained success. We say Ia
the low tariff Democrats. that its bet.
ter for high tariff Democrat to be in
power than aradical, aud to the high
tariff man, that its better that low
tariff Democrat be elected than the
enemy of both 10 succeed.

thing, bnt the triumph Of Democracy

for battle against the enemy Of gooc

Invite Both.

In The dark days Of reconstruction
the South bad no truer or ableririend
than the Hon. Samuel ]. Randall. AT
that time and ever since, there has
been no man in the United States that
has occupied a higher or more conspi.
cuous place in public affairs than Mr
Randall. It. was never said OF him
then that "he was an assistant Repnb'
lican" az has been sujd BY Southern
Democrats. We thought then and
still think, that Mr.. Randall Is Dem
ocrat, and only differs with the majo.
rity OF Southern Democrats upon the
single question Of Tanff. Southern
Newspapers who differ with him ON
this question. are mighty handy 10
read Mr.. Randall out Of the party
This We regard as very bad policy,
particularly SO, while We are jnst ap-
preaching national contest. We
should foster every eliment Of
strengths in this contest. We differ,
widely differ with NJ. Randall upon
the Tariff question. But it ought not
to be forgotten that it is an open
question, one upon which many able,
but soand Democrats differ.
Yes, by all means invite both Mr..
Randall and Carila to Atlanta, let the
people see and hear them both. The.
are both great statesmen.
The Grorgiaus are true gentlemen
and no courtesy will be lacking to the
Pennsylvania.

Trial BY Jury.

We confess that this ancient and
once boasted right, which in former
years we were taught to believe was
almost sacred, had to some extent,
lost its former glory and prestige and
we had begun to think that a man
with millions could not be punished
in our courts. But il is absolutely
true that New York Jury have con.
victed an impudent, daring and un.
scrupulous millionaire bood,er, in the
person Of one Jacob Sharp, further,
that the Court in the face Of the most
eloquent and learned Of lawyers has
actually pronounced sentence and
that Sing Sing has actually closed up
on this dastardly old sinner. Well,
well, this IS q little better than we ex
pscted. But to whom mainly is this
h,nor due. Not solely to the Judge
aud Jury. 10 the press, the enligh
tened aud all powerful press, we at
tribute this conviction more than tt
any other agency. "

Cleyeland's Fine Sense.

The man who gives careful consi>
deration to the speeches which the
President is now making in the West
will be struck by their perfect good
taste, simplicity, and the wonderful
degree in which they are adapted to
the communities iu which he speaks.
There is nothing dazzling in his elo-
queuce, there j. no rhetorical sky
scraping, or profound utterances OH
matters of political economy. On the
contrary. Mr. Clevelands speeches are
simply the utterances of a manly
practical, every day sort OF a man.
The value Of such common sense
as he possesses cannot be oyerestimat
ed. Ii is a most effectual bulwark
against SBuchsrdism." There is M
inserting Of the boot into the FOOLS
open mouth. We have simply sen
sihle and agreeable discussion of botl
local and general topics, which inte.
rest the hearers aud do not offend the
readers Surely this is tact in it,
most practical aud useful phase.

GOING.

Moving about the quiet ways,
Sitting beside the hearth, E
Joining as best she can and may
In the careless household mirth.
Yet always through the haunted night,
AS through the restless day,
Feeling-another hour is passed
OF the time that flies away.
The last frail strand Of the cable
Is parting slow and sure,
That never again to the harbor side
My bonnie boat will moor.
My bonnie boat, that may come again.
God temper the wave and windl
To gladden. sad eyes and yearning hearts,
That now are left behind
May come again, but not to lie
Safe by the old home shore;
The anchor Of youth is almost weighed;
They will cast it never more.
And it's oh. and it's oh, for the sinking dread,
It's oh for the climbing SORROW,
As ever the cruel, creeping night
Brings on the weary morrowi
Love that is true must hush itself,
Nor pain by its useless cry,
for the young must go, and the old must bear,
And time goes by, goes by.
